Re: [A/S] Banks Power
Indeed! A turbo is the best bang for the buck, _especially_ as you
go up from sea level and the air gets thin. Although you can
find "torque cams" they don't help nearly as much. Hi-po cams are
best used for higher rpms... so is headwork. But that being said, if
you're at higher rpms, one gear lower, you have the mechanical
advantage of the torque multiplication of the lower gear. That
translates to hp.
I'd definitely invest in the turbo if you're going to be up in the
mountains!
